White German Cucumber
This is an enormously large and exceedingly handsome cucumber; indeed, some of my workmen vote it to be handsomest variety we have ever grown. The white color is peculiarly clear and strong. It surpasses most of the foreign varieties in vigor and productiveness, though all of them are rather tender when grown in the open air. To those who have the English fancy for a cucumber having but few seed, and to all who desire to raise the handsomest possible variety for exhibition purposes, i know of no sort which can give greater satisfaction than the White German. A customer in Georgia writes me that he grew one, three feet long. Pkt., 25c.
